AB  - Lead  is  a  soft,  malleable  metal  that  is  obtained  chiefly  by  the  primary  smelting  and  refining  of  natural  ores  or  by  the  widespread  practice  of  recycling  and  secondary  smelting  of  scrap  lead  products.  Recycling  accounts  for  nearly  85%  of  domestic  lead  consumption,  approximately  85%  of  which  is  used  in  the  manufacture  of  lead-acid  batteries.  Lead  is  used  for  weights  and  radiation  shielding,  and  lead  alloys  are  used  in  the  manufacture  of  pipes;  cable  sheathing;  brass,  bronze,  and  steel;  ammunition;  and  solder  (predominantly  electric  devices  and  older  automotive  radiators).  Lead  compounds  are  added  as  pigments,  stabilizers,  or  binders  in  paints,  ceramics,  glass,  and  plastic.
